Glucoryl-MV 2 Tablet SR

Description

Product Description

Glucoryl-MV 2 Tablet SR is a prescription medicine formulated with Glimepiride, Metformin Hydrochloride Sustained Release (SR), and Voglibose. It is commonly prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose blood glucose levels are not adequately controlled with diet, exercise, or dual-drug therapy.

Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, helping lower blood glucose levels. Metformin SR decreases glucose production by the liver, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces intestinal glucose absorption. Voglibose delays the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine, helping reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.

When used alongside a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle modifications, Glucoryl-MV 2 Tablet SR helps maintain stable blood glucose levels, improve glycemic control, and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. It is not intended for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.
